Quote About Happiness #1
By Robertson Davies. “Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.”

Quote About Happiness #2
By Fyodor Dostoevsky. “Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it.”

Quote About Happiness #4

Quote About Happiness #5
Helen Keller. When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

Quote About Happiness #6

Quote About Happiness #10
Norm Papernick. “Those who can laugh without cause have either found the true meaning of happiness or have gone stark raving mad.”

Quote About Happiness #11
Andy Rooney. “For most of life, nothing wonderful happens. If you don’t enjoy getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with family or friends, then the chances are that you’re not going to be very happy. If someone bases his happiness or unhappiness on major events like a great new job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn’t going to be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness.”

Quote About Happiness #12
Og Mandino. “Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.”

Quote About Happiness #13
John D. Rockefeller. “The road to happiness lies in two simple principles: find what it is that interests you and that you can do well, and when you find it, put your whole soul into it, every bit of energy and ambition and natural ability you have.”

Quote About Happiness #14
James Oppenheim. “The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.”

Quote About Happiness #15
William Ogden. “The ingredients of happiness are so simple that they can be counted on one hand. First of all, happiness must be shared. Selfishness is its enemy; to make another happy is to be happy one’s self. It is quiet, seldom found for long in crowds, most easily won in moments of solitude and reflection. It comes from within, and rests most securely on simple goodness and clear conscience.”
